Bu çerçevede çalışmada; algılanan tüketici etkinliği, buyruksal sosyal norm ve ihtiyaç farkındalığı faktörlerinin kişisel norm üzerindeki etkisi ile kişisel norm ve enerji tasarrufu davranışı ilişkisinde objektif çevresel bilginin düzenleyici rolü araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmanın analizinde 270 bireysel tüketiciden anket yöntemi ile elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, tüketicilerin enerji tasarrufunda bulunmaya yönelik kişisel normlarına, ihtiyaç farkındalıklarının ve buyruksal sosyal normlarının olumlu yönde etkide bulunduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Çalışma, söz konusu iki teoriyi bir araya getirerek, sosyal norm ve ihtiyaç farkındalığı etkilerinin birlikte incelenmesi açısından enerji tasarrufu literatürüne katkıda bulunmaktadır. KW - Enerji Tasarrufu Davranışı KW - Algılanan Tüketici Etkinliği KW - Buyruksal Sosyal Norm KW - İhtiyaç Farkındalığı KW - Kişisel Norm N2 - This study aims to examine the factors affecting the energy conservation behaviors of individual consumers in the light of Planned Behavior Theory and Norm Activation Theory. With this aim, the study examines the effect of perceived consumer effectiveness, injunctive social norms and awareness of need on personal norms; and the moderator role of objective environmental knowledge on the relationship between personal norms and energy conservation behavior. Data from 270 individual consumers were used in the analysis of the study. As a result of the analyses, it was found that awareness of need and injunctive social norms have positive effect on consumers’ norms for energy conservation. The study contributes to the energy conservation literature by bringing two theories together and examining the effects of social norms and awareness of need. CR - Abrahamse, W., & Steg, L. (2009).
